What can an editor do for me?

Once you've gotten your ideas on paper, revising the text for smooth flow and checking for errors can be time consuming. Sometimes you end up reading what you meant to write and not necessarily what your reader will understand. An editor can help save you time and make sure your ideas are being clearly communicated to your readers.

Do you use ChatGPT or other AI programs for editing?

The use of AI large language model (LLM) programs such as ChatGPT may have ethical consequences, so transparency is of the utmost importance. I do not use AI programs in the editing process unless I have first discussed it with the author.

Do you offer a proofreading service?

Writers are often taught to proofread their paper to check for basic punctuation and spelling errors. In the publishing world, however, “proofreading” has a different meaning. Proofreaders check proofs of formatted, edited material for adherence to design and for minor errors. A copyeditor checks for spelling, grammar, usage, and consistency. If you feel your paper is already well written and just needs another set of eyes to check for errors, please request a light copyedit.

How much does it cost?

Price depends on the length of the manuscript, the extent of editing needed, and the services requested. Prices may range from $30-50 for an abstract to $60-120 per 1000 words for a journal article or regulatory document. Student discounts are available. Please fill out the contact form to request a custom quote.

How fast can you get it done?

Turnaround time depends on the length of the manuscript, the extent of editing needed, and my current schedule. A 5000-word journal article typically takes 2-4 business days. Please indicate any time limitations you may have in the contact form.
